Texas Black Walnut is a small to medium-sized native walnut of the Edwards Plateau and south Texas, adapted to dry, rocky limestone soils. Its nuts are smaller than common black walnut but equally nutritious. Squirrels, deer, and wild turkeys depend on the nuts as fall and winter food in this arid region.
